Detached houses in Hoogeveen: what you can expect in this segment
Hoogeveen is not a city where detached houses are found on every street corner. Supply is limited and mostly located outside the centre, in the village cores and ribbon development around the municipality. Anyone who wants to buy a detached house in Hoogeveen must take into account a market that, while quieter than the Randstad, still sees well-priced properties snapped up quickly.
This is the higher segment. Detached houses in Hoogeveen are relatively expensive compared to other property types in the municipality. This attracts a specific group of buyers: families wanting space, people returning to Drenthe from the Randstad, and buyers consciously choosing a larger plot and more privacy. Current numbers and price levels can be found in the overview of all homes for sale in Hoogeveen.
What buying a detached house here means in practice
A detached house brings different considerations than a terraced house or apartment. Especially in a municipality like Hoogeveen, where many homes are located outside the built-up area or on larger plots. Keep the following in mind:
- Zoning plan and extension possibilities. Check with the municipality what is allowed on the plot. Outbuildings, extensions and canopies are not always automatically permitted.
- Own foundation, own risk. With detached houses, there is no homeowners' association (VvE) contributing to maintenance. Always have a structural survey carried out, even if the house looks good.
- Utility connections in rural areas. Homes in the countryside around Hoogeveen sometimes lack a connection to the sewer system (IBA system or septic tank). Check this before the purchase agreement.
- Leasehold or freehold of the land. Rare but not impossible: check whether the land is leasehold. This has major implications for financing and future saleability.
- Respond quickly and completely. Estate agents in Hoogeveen often work with viewing rounds for detached houses. Ensure your financing is in order in advance so you can make an offer immediately.
- Turn on notifications via the Buurtje.nl app. The app is free and sends you a push notification as soon as new listings matching your search appear. Available in the App Store and via Google Play.
- Pay attention to WOZ value and OZB. A larger house on a spacious plot means higher municipal taxes. Factor this into your monthly costs.
Price level: what determines the price of a detached house here
Detached houses in Hoogeveen are in the higher segment of the local market. The price is strongly determined by several factors:
- Location: village core, ribbon development or rural area makes a big difference.
- Plot size. A spacious plot with privacy weighs heavily in the asking price.
- Construction period. 1970s homes often require energy upgrades. Newer or renovated homes are more expensive but cheaper to run.
- Presence of a garage, outbuilding or shed. This counts towards the valuation.

- Nieuwlande (8.8/10). Small village with a strong sense of community. Limited supply, but when something becomes available, interest is high.

Also consider Emmen if supply is disappointing
The supply of detached houses in Hoogeveen is limited. If you are flexible on location, it is worth also looking at detached houses in Emmen. Emmen has a larger area and therefore more variety in supply, also in the village cores around the city. The distance between the two municipalities is limited and the housing market has a similar character.

I've lived in Noordscheschut for almost my entire life and it's a very cosy village. Everyone always gives each other a wave and people chat among themselves. Top place to live!
Auto-translated to English by AII live close to the park, where you can take nice walks, sit on benches, which I advocated for at the time. The beautiful art bench also looks great again. The festival has just been held again. You can also play a game with discs there, together or alone. In winter with snow, children can slide down the hill with a sled or tyre. The petting zoo is nearby. People with dogs talk to each other and dogs play together. The old Hoogeveense Vaart lies in front of my house, with an old street lined with oak trees along it. An old bridge also spans the water. People often sit there fishing. A wonderfully quiet spot in Hoogeveen. The bus 'De Bij' runs regularly in the area. Most daily necessities you can buy in the shopping centre. Doctor's practice and pharmacy within walking distance, what more could you want. Maybe a few extra benches, one at the parking spot near the doctor's practice please..
Auto-translated to English by AIDue to the distances between the large town of Hoogeveen and the villages of Alteveer and Kerkenveld, accessibility and amenities are quite limited. The only way to reach a built-up area is by bike or car. And for amenities and education, you have to go to those areas. But the people are friendly and the neighbourhood is safe.
Auto-translated to English by AINice neighbourhood where people look out for each other, help each other and tolerate each other. Sometimes there is a bit of nuisance from youth, but it never lasts long and never gets out of hand because the neighbourhood keeps an eye on things so the police don't have to get involved. Only a shame that the houses are old and in need of replacement. That's the only downside.
Auto-translated to English by AIAll amenities in the neighbourhood for now, but if the council gets its way it will get worse. Many shops have already left the Tamboerpassage because the council preferred them to move to the Hoofdstraat, despite the fact that many residents who are often not very mobile now have to walk a long way from many shops. As for the eye-catcher; it is meant for empty cans and drink cartons but is filled at least several times a week by antisocial neighbours who dump large rubbish bags full of junk in it, making the opening unusable and the rubbish ending up on the grass.
Auto-translated to English by AIAlways nice to live here. Neighbours are generally friendly, you can walk the dog nicely. Lots of nice spots in the neighbourhood. Little litter on the streets. Sometimes a lot of dog poop. Lots of space. Green village. Also a beautiful village. I have no personal experience with the schools, but other people are satisfied with them. There is a public primary school and a Christian one. There are fun activities in summer, especially the festival week. The village is close to the motorway.
Auto-translated to English by AII think our neighbourhood is really nice, it's conveniently close to school and other places
Auto-translated to English by AIA very cosy neighbourhood with many amenities nearby, you have 2 supermarkets, a hairdresser, tattoo shop, several clothing stores, pharmacy, doctor and dentist and much more, so you basically have everything in the area. Also, many things are organised, for example in the playground for children.
